No paragraph in the entry to see

Post by WebReiter »

Hello,

I have just a phenomenon in IE. There are no paragraphs shown in the entry text, although i can see two

Code: Select all

<br /><br />
in the source code.

In Firefox or RSS-Feed/Feedburner it looks very well.

Can anybody help?

Best regards.

Hi!

Maybe if you tell us your URL we could have a look at it ;)

Hi,

you should checkout your HTML-code first. The W3C-HTML-Validator shows 17 errors. I'd propose to try to eliminate as much of those errors as possible and then look, whether the paragraph-error still occurs.

Thanks, for the tip. I just copied something and had my Syntax-Higlighter on "HTML".

Now it's valid, but it changes nothing. I don't understand. In the Editor it looks also OK.

Look here:

Seems to be a problem with the browsers interpreting the styles differently - epsecially the IE is known for misinterpreting some margin and padding styles.

I'd try to experiment with the margin and line-height and -spacing styles defined for serendipity_entry_body and serendipity_entry

Maybe it also could be a workaround to insert a no-break-space into each of the empty lines, to keep the height of the empty lines, as this won't have any negative effect to the proper layout shown in FF.

Hi!

Someone had a similar problem some weeks ago. Sadly I can't remember the solution he had, but it was definitely an IE bug... Maybe if you search the forums you remember some good keywords to find it... like "br tag" or "double br IE" or something like that.

Best regards,

I've got it!
It was in the style.css. In the class .serendipity_entry was defined
letter-spacing: 0.09em;
This ist very small.;-)

Thanks for your help
